What we’re about
Build a strong retirement that is immune to Wall Street. If you're rich, you put your money in the bank. If you're wealthy, you are the bank!
Many investors are sensing it's time to lock in their gains and put some of their money where Wall Street can't touch. But, where can you put your money where it is safe and it can grow?
You could put your money in the bank and earn <2%. However, wouldn’t it be better to earn 8-17% by BEING THE BANK?
This group was created to bring awareness to a different way to invest in real estate. Our focus is on how to purchase or create simple low loan-to-value 1st position mortgages and land contracts secured by brick & mortar real estate. If the economy enters a recession, we're not worried. We're expecting it and want to provide other investors with the tools to take advantage of opportunities when the time comes.
We believe investing is all about controlling your own destiny. If your stock goes down, what options do you have? Sell, hold, or buy more... Not exactly a position you want to be in when a market is in a recession.

You have probably heard that money is made when you buy not when you sell in real estate. This is truer today than ever. By the time a foreclosure reaches the open market (MLS) it has most likely been traded behind the scenes more than a few times.
Therefore, the end buyer is only seeing the real estate market, not the mortgage note market that exists. They are paying retail prices in a highly competitive sellers’ market.
This group was created to explore this hidden world and shed light on many of the misconceptions surrounding real estate and mortgage investing. Together we will discuss:
* Strategies that allow us to purchase properties for 50-60% cents on the dollar.
* How to reduce our risk with different exit strategies than the typical fix & flip.
* How to evaluate and underwrite mortgage notes
* Market cycles and key market indicators
* Who are the key players (title companies, bankers, hedge funds, lawyers)
The world of pre-foreclosures and non-performing notes is more prevalent than you may realize. From retirees looking to secure their future cash flows to fix & flippers, this is information you are going to want to know.
*We do not offer legal advice. Real estate and debt instrument investing involve a high degree of risk. This is not an offer to purchase or invest. Please seek legal counsel before investing.

This will be the last virtual meeting of the Michigan Note Investors. Phil and Mel Jacob will host a final virtual meet-up this week. Monday, December 2nd at 7 pm. EST
Over the last year, we have been working with a group of investors nationwide that have found a niche with a mission to create 100,000 housing units over the next decade. Phil and Mel Jacob discuss their investing opportunities ahead.
The stock market hit a new high, signaling warning signs by several indicators.
One is the Buffett Indicator. This is a measure of all publicly traded stocks divided by the country's GDP. It’s a measure and ratio to evaluate whether a market is overvalued or undervalued. This number is now over 200% and indicates the market is overvalued.
We initially took over this meet-up during COVID when many were meeting virtually. Thank you to those who have followed our journey.
We have a few notes for sale and can direct those who still want to buy notes to a great source. Join us!
